Washington's Generals: Questions and Answers on America's Earliest Military Leaders

Product Description

Author Donald Elder and Michael F. Shaughnessy

ISBN 9798986817255

Pages 206

Patriot victory in the American Revolution was never assured. Many citizens, leaders, soldiers, and observers thought it improbable. Yet, General George Washington and his forces prevailed.
Michael F. Shaughnessy interviews historian Donald Elder regarding 24 generals who served the Patriot cause under the leadership of General Washington. Some of these leaders had military experience in the armies and conflicts of Europe, but others had little or no previous experience at military leaders. Most, but not all of the generals, remained loyal to the Patriot cause.
Washington’s generals were a diverse group of leaders whose desire for the independence from British rule of the 13 American colonies was one of the few shared motivations for their service.
Among the leaders were farmers, a bookseller, mariners, business leaders, glory hunters, and plantation owners. Each one was unique and collectively their efforts helped secure the freedom desired by many people in the American colonies.
Among the generals discussed are leaders such as:

• Benedict Arnold
• John Glover
• Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben
• Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion
• Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee III 
• Casimir Pulaski
• George Rogers Clark
• Horatio Gates
• Daniel Morgan
• Henry Knox

Concise, informative, interesting, each interview provides a biographical sketch of one of George Washington’s most famous generals—each one, a remarkable person.
